I really enjoyed Reading and Looking at the Carbines and other Weapons.

Personally I've read different reasons why there was V notches on T1 Rear Sights. This might be one of the reasons.

M1 Carbine | USMCWeaponry.com

"The only attribute that can increase the likelihood of a given M1 Carbine being of USMC provenance, Marines in the South Pacific were keen to file their rear sights into a V to allow better target acquisition in the dense jungles and during the frequent nighttime banzai charge. This modification was not strictly Marine however, as US Army soldiers would do this modification as well. That said, it has been observed on M1 Carbines with strong USMC provenance."
